| Reverse description | Two stylized wrestlers depicted in dynamic Greco-Roman combat pose, rendered in high relief at the center of the field. The figures stand atop a hemispherical globe motif occupying the lower half of the design, its meridian and parallel lines clearly delineated. An Arabic legend curves along the upper arc reading 'برشلونه' (Barcelona), with the Hijri year 1412 inscribed to the left of the wrestlers. A further Arabic inscription arcs across the globe surface identifying the 25th Olympic Games. A decorative segmented border frames the entire composition. |
